Re: [cobalt-security] Spam from this list

[Mike King <mikkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

While I abhor spam, I believe that your actions are far worse. I have no
idea who the culprit is, but I do not think that you should take the law
into your own hands here. just because you have the power to break in
does not give you the right to do so.

I am sure the other list members will agree. Perhaps you could better
direct your energies in assisting people who have such 'easy'
vulnerabilities in their systems.

Regards

Mike
